Yall did great on the dinner suggestions, let see how this one goes.

Thank you!

Are there any locals that will take groups out in a boat for the day? We have a group coming this weekend and we’re wanting to rent a boat for a few hours, but the marina policies say they can not provide a captain due to Coast Guard regulations. We plan to have drinks, so we are in need or a driver.

We would be interested in hiring a captain and renting a boat, or hiring somebody to take us out on their boat. It will be a group of 7.

I want go down next week, first time. The 10 day forecast shows rain, but like it is spuradic in the high 40% and 50% chances, nearly every day I'm down there (according to the weather channel)

Can anyone ball park/assess whether I'd be waiting out weather/planning my vacation around it? Is it commonly very rainy during this time of year? Should I abort and go later?

Thank you

I’m curious about this place for a birthday trip just my husband and I. Anyone stayed there?

We plan on going to watch the Blue Angels practice. Do we need to get a toll pass for that? Are there other toll roads between GUF and PNS?

Is there any place in/around the Gulf Shores area that offers a one time payment for timed arcade games? Shooters, car racing, etc. Most arcades seem to be ticket focused.

Just tried it for the first time last night and it was super gross. Is it always like that?? Not only that but the pepper shaker at our table was full of mold. It was replaced and the one we were given wasn’t moldy but it was wet inside

I am heading to Gulf Shores Memorial Day weekend for a bachelorette trip. I live in the Midwest and am a medical marijuana patient, but it is my understanding that my MO medical marijuana card is useless in AL. Bringing mine with me isn’t an option, and the person driving our group has explicitly asked me not to do so. Any recommendations? The quick research I don’t had suggested trying to find THC-A in a smoke shop, but other information looks like that legal loophole is no longer available.

I am a 19 years old and this summer I have gotten the opportunity to come down here and work rent free! I am originally from Kentucky and this will be the first time I move out of state. While this is very exciting I have quickly been met by the fact that I know no one except my 70 year old grandparents that I am staying with.

If anyone has any tips or ideas on ways I can get connected to people who are local? Any third spaces?

Edit: I do already have a job here, I’m just looking for social settings outside of that!

Where is the cheapest liquor...? Flora-Bama ??

Are they gonna run me off thr beach if I light up a cigar. Obviously courteous and would not be close to folks.

Best/cheapest fresh shrimp to take home I plan on Billy's in Bon Secour but thought I would ask

Any restaurant recommendations

Thanks

I've seen dolphins. I'm not impressed. We're going fishing, maybe kayaking. Are there other activities on the water that don't involve dolphins?
